The buffet table suits my dining/game room storage needs very well. I ordered the dark walnut finish and am pleased with the style in my room. As described, the box is heavy, though easy to unpack the pieces once opened flat on the floor. I assembled two of these, each taking a couple hours since I was working alone and being cautious not to make assembly mistakes. Building instructions are simple enough though, and few needed tools included work well for the task. I'd suggest buying some carpentry glue to supplement the tube included if you want to glue dowel joints well, as provided amount will fall short. Finished table feels secure and sturdy, and holds plenty of items on interior shelves and under-top wide shelf. I opted not to install glass doors as I wanted easy access to stored items/games, and glass doors really don't hide much, do they? So far, pleased with my purchase -- a great deal if you get them on sale.
